This is the start of my first fic, please read and review any help is
appreciated, I have no idea where I am going with this, don't even know if
I'm keeping the title. I would tell you what's happened and when it takes
place but I'm sure you'll figure it out. Thanks.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but you already knew that didn't you.
Remember the time....
Prologue-
He moved through the shadows as he had always done, they where his home and his source of power. Silently he watched the vast expanse as he had always done, waiting, watching. A lone figure appeared in a clearing, seemingly out of nowhere. The figure stared at the huge walls that guarded this village hidden in the trees. This had been the same occurrence for nearly four years, watching from the shadows, he never dared to move down and acknowledge this lone figure, but tonight, for some reason he felt that it had been far too long. Jumping down from the trees he landed a calculated distance beside the figure crouching with his hands between his legs, the perfect offensive and defense distance.
"It's been a while hasn't it..." he said. The figure stared straight not turning to face him, "Yeah, I guess it has."
The silence that engulfed them was not awkward nor did it feel threatening, it was just the silence granted to those who have shared hard times and understood each other. "So...." The figure broke the silence, "How is she holding up?" He understood the pain behind the simple question and the strength needed to ask it, it was only right he answered. "She's good, I see her every now and then between missions, I can say I've seen her worse, but I can also say I've seen her better, but what about you?"
"I see.... I'm... I'm doing alright"
He looked over at the figure, "You know I should bring you in right now, after all you are considered and S-class criminal now." The figure lowered his head slightly, "I am aren't I." He stood up, now facing the figure "But, under the circumstances, the risk would be too high, so it looks like that will have to wait for now."
The figure just nodded his head and turned to leave. "Hey..." the figure turned his head slightly to listen. "Take care... Naruto." "Yeah, you too Shikamau." With that both shinobi disappeared into the night, memories weighing heavily on their minds.
I will try to take you reviews and any help to heart, and update frequently, thanks for the help
